Discharge Hose Installation; Priming The Pump - Honda WT40X Owner's Manual

OPERATION

DISCHARGE HOSE INSTALLATION

Use a commercially available
hose and hose connector, and
clamp provided with the pump.
It is best to use a short, large-
diameter hose, because that will
reduce fluid friction and improve
pump performance. A long or
small-diameter hose will increase
fluid friction and reduce pump
output.
Tighten the hose clamp securely
to prevent the discharge hose
from disconnecting under high
pressure.

PRIMING THE PUMP

Before starting the engine, remove the filler cap from the pump
chamber, and completely fill the pump chamber with water. Reinstall
the filler cap, and tighten it securely.
Priming water capacity:
WT20X:
WT30X, WT40X:
Operating the pump dry will destroy the pump seal. If the pump has
been operated dry, stop the engine immediately, and allow the pump
to cool before priming.
